Apple forgot to pay the standard bribes in Italy. Just like Asia. The police needs its "tea money".

1) Samsung does not need more "space" of its own 64bit chips. They have enough wafer quantity to produce everything they need. 2) You can't take a chip design from Samsung and just start produce them at a GloFo foundry. You need a new tapeout, te…

This is not Steve Jobs Apple. If it was Steve Jobs Apple: iPhone is a software platform. A new iPhone is only released with a new OS. Maybe Tim will play Samsung and release meaningless hardware upgrades a couple of times a year.

MSFT have never done a good product. They dont want to since they rely on upgrades. MSFT have never been able to compete in a market where there is competition. Today they still make over 95% of their profit on monopoly products Windows/Office. …

*hint* To use 2 different foundries for one SoC is highly unrealistic. You have to design 2 different SoCs to do this. You cant just take your tapeout from Samsung and walk to TSMC with it. A more realistic (and more secure for Apple) is to contin…

*sad* I wanted this movie to make a ton of money because we would have got more Steve Jobs movies. I want EVERY movie to be about Steve. Imagine Christoffer Nolan Dark Jobs Rising. Superhero Jobs fights crime/evil around the world by inventing Igad…

I really don't understand the upside of TB2 beside 4K displays. Today we have 2 lanes 10Gbps in Thunderbolt. TB2 combines the 2 lanes to one 20Gbps lane. So we will see no advantage exempt that we can use an Apple 4K display using TB2. Just becau…

Fun patent. It would be possible to have for example 12Mpix x3 setup for 36mpix camera. I doubt however that Apple will use 3 lenses. It would cost to much. (even if it just cost 1 dollar. Apple sells 120 million iphones per year. That is almost 3…

Apple sells almost al its phones with carrier contracts. Some are subsidised some are not. The problem for Apple is that phone companies now have alternative to Apple. They can dump Apple and go for an all Android/Winphone lineup. The main reason …

Guess that Apple should have continued to use Solaris/Sun/Oracle like they did before iCloud. Using HP machines Azure will never work 100% (or 99.9995% that is acceptable downtime) or be secure. Apple should use their own Xserve/Unix servers. …

No 4K content? Hint: iTunes store. Every single movie on film is 4K. Every single movie that have been scanned for digital market since early 2000 is scanned in 4K. Delivery of 4K content is another thing. Most people don't have 100Mbit and even …

WIndows Vs Open is more Windows Vs Unix. The difference between Windows and Unix = Unix works, its scalable and have zero viruses/"server grade security". If closed was better, then Windows Phone should do much better, also Windows on ARM. Windo…

Quad core is not important. Power VR Rouge is important. And Apple should think about bumping memory to much higher then 1 gig since everything is going to be multitasked in iOS7.

I have had every single model of iPhone. The iPhone4 was the only phone I had replaced 3 times because of the home button. The double tap for multitasking switching killed the button. People actually use the phones!

Why are companies competing in doing higher then retina displays? The eyes cant see the difference. More pixels = more battery more GPU/CPU recourses. But this is typical nerd/PC era thinking. 441PPI is better then 330PPI. 2Meg >1Meg. WAP &g…

From tapeout to production its at least 6 month! For example X86 at least 12 month. Even with risk wafers they would never get SoCs into production before October. (To many uneducated news reporters that talk about Intel, TSMC, Samsung and so on…

Apple don't want fragmentation. They also have special DSPs in their A class SoC. Its alas cheaper use their own design they using an outside partner. Most Android OEMs have to buy SocS. For example: The Tegra 2 cost 15 dollar to produce and was …

This have been impossible before, since Intel didn't have fab capacity to accommodate Apple. But Intel lost over 30% market share last year and their last report had that they used their fabs 50%. The only reason why Intel would agree to do this…

The analytics are so retarded (or calculating). Apple already spend over 12 billion on tooling. That is more then Intel for example. Now they believe that Apple have to double it. There is no evidence for it. The short term analytics investors want…

There is almost a billion of Apple shares in circulation. Splitting it would mean that there is to many shares driving the price down. I hate these short time investors that want Apple to pay dividend/buy back shares. Look what it have got Apple to…
